If you mean: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept
The pint-slope intercept form of the equation of a line is: y = mx + b The general form is: Ax + By = C. So, y = mx + b subtract mx to both sides; y - mx = b -mx + y = b multiply by -1 to both sides; mx - y = -b This is the general form.
If you mean y = mx+b then it is the equation formula of a straight line whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
If you mean: y = mx+b then 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y intercept for a straight line equation
y = mx + b y - b = mx (y - b) / x = m (m is the slope, except where x = 0)
